What is a chevy fireball? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

spinning wheels · 07-13-2003, 07:53 PM

I hope some of you can answer this question. I have been looking (not very hard I might add) for a 67-72 motorhome. The kind with the one ton chassis, dual rear axle with truck front end. Now here is the question. I came across an ad for a 1972 Chevy Fireball. Has anyone ever heard of it? I haven't been able to contact the owner. I'm just hoping that this is the truck with the motorhome .
Thanks for any input on this question.

Hey thanks, I hope they did order it on a truck chassis. I have talked to one owner with a 350/350 set up. He was getting the same milage as my 3/4 ton.

Finally got ahold of the owner. Turns out to be like the photo above. A van type motorhome. I was hoping for the truck version. :-(

Didn't they have vans that looked like trucks back then, I forget what they were called. I think someone on here has one that used to be an ambulance.

there is an either 69 or 70 chev C30 motorhome for sale pretty close to my house, but the shipping would kill ya. at least i think its for sale...it's parked out by the road. Here's a shot, but it's one of those "Drive-By" shots, so it sux.

1969GMC, thanks... you are right. The shipping would kill me. I would probably have to take a small loan out to pay the fuel cost, if I drove it home too.

Well you don't have to worry about your rocker panels rusting out. Haa Haa

Longhorn Man · 07-14-2003, 04:09 PM

Yup, and the cab corners are perfect too.

DMurphy, thanks. It might look cool once the black paint with flames were applied. Honestly, I think I would be kicked out of the neighborhood with that thing. I'm looking for the one with the full truck cab. I have to admit tho, it is different. I don't think I would mistaken it for another one in a parking lot
